What previous attendees have said about this workshop

Laura did an amazing job: the team loved her calm, wise and helpful style and they became much more creative, and much more strategic, in the way they thought about what we are doing with our content. Laura is such a professional and a great person to work with.

— Emma Martinho-Truswell, COO, Oxford Insights

Laura was a great teacher, explained all the concepts (even the very basic ones) very clearly so beginners like me knew what was going on. The workshop was fun and interesting and really got me thinking about content in a way I hadn’t before.

— Hannah Miller, Oxford Insights

Why me?

I have run content operations for major organisations such as Hodder Education and the BBC Proms and been able to adapt the principles for SMEs such as the Open Data Institute, Energy Systems Catapult, TEDxLondon, Creative United and Adfam. I know how to make small and medium sized organisations punch above their weight, while making the work itself sustainable - because there’s no point coming on this workshop if you’re never going to use it again.

As an Associate Lecturer at London College of Communication and regular workshop leader and guest speaker, I care about involving everyone in the session at a level they’re comfortable at. I won’t leave anyone behind and I won’t put anyone on the spot.

You provide the location and willing participants, and I’ll do the rest.
